These are a few i usually catch opponents with. Head Jab, Body Rip, head hook - all attacks thrown of the lead hand. Rear roundkick(allow leg momentum to switch your stance) and then follow with a side kick. - Really good for chasing an opponent, as two or three sidekicks can be fired as need be. Rear roundkick to ribs, followed quickly by a rear round to the head. Low front leg pushkick followed by a rear roundkick to the head - First kick sets up hand position High rear roundkick(allow to drift in front of opponent, do not connect) and use momentum to follow into a spinning side kick. Jab, hook, uppercut - the hook opens the guard for the uppercut. low roundkick,right cross, left hook - the roundkick to the legs drops the hands for the cross, and if they come up to block the cross the hook catches them. These are obviously simplified, i could not include every detail, and i dont want everyone at my school suddenly using my tricks on me either. I have found most of these will usually work against most opponents in point fighting. For full contact fighting, just hide the kicks behind punches. Chris Extra credit also goes to anyone who can name the WKA fighter that the second combo comes from.

Damn straight. If your heel is flat you will become immobile. I did this and got hit a lot. You will find if your opponent comes forward he will hit you, because you cannot pivot/move your head out of the way. Also i find that with the heel flat it takes an initial movement to load your rear hand. Also having the feet flat really cuts down your ability to move, which translates to how much you get hit.

SevenStar> what sanctioning body do u fight under? Im in australia, and over here, the amateurs do not wear head gear. We fight 3 x 2 mins for a non title fight, and 5 x 2 for a title fight. We wear the same equipment as the pros(only groin guard, gloves and mouthguard). Chris P.S. Size wise, i am not huge, im 5'10(174 cm) and weigh 70 kg(168 pound)
